CsoundVST depends on csnd, but it looks like this dependency is declared in 
SConstruct even though csnd is not being built by you.

I think with the latest version of SConstruct this should work, which 
version are you using? Anyway, even if it does not in the latest SConstruct, 
you can get it to work by building the Java, Python, or Lua interface, which 
will create csnd.

Hope this helps,
Mike

Do you mean which version of scons?

Ok with

scons buildCsoundVST=1 buildInterfaces=1

I got as far as the vstsdk stuff. I have already downloaded them 
(versions 2.3, 2.4 and 3) and have successfully build vst plugins with 
them before. Admittedly I don't really understanding the difference 
between versions and the inner logic of it all, but let's leave that.

So I did (from the root of csound5 dir as created by cvs co:

ln -s ~/software/vst/vstsdk2.4/public.sdk/
ln -s ~/software/vst/vstsdk2.4/pluginterfaces/

But building seems to complain about an error in one of the vstsdk 
files. I tried looking that the other versions (2.3 and 3) but the 
directory layout of those suggests that this is not what csound expects...

Anyways:

Google gave me this solution:
http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=3214

Now it seems I'm one step further, but now the build process stops like 
this:

scons: done reading SConscript files.

scons: *** [frontends/CsoundVST/csoundvst_main.o] Error 1
scons: building terminated because of errors.

Any idea?

changing "RunCsoundVST_" to "RunCsoundVST" (2 instances) in 
frontends/CsoundVST/csoundvst_main.cpp got me a little further.

Next problem, Python.h is no found, although it's sitting right there in 
/usr/include/python2.6/Python.h:

frontends/CsoundVST/CsoundVST.cpp:24:20: error: Python.h: No such file 
or directory

Adding this line to custom.py (under the the "if sys.platform[:5] == 
'linux':") clause took care of that, though:

     customCPPPATH.append('/usr/include/python2.6')

Now I'm getting as far as the linking:

g++ -o libCsoundVST.so -Wl,-Bdynamic -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib

scons: building terminated because of errors.

Hmm, grep tells me this:

[atte@vestbjerg 09_09_23]$ grep -R lcsound32 *
Makefile-win32:CSLIB_LNK = -lcsound32

But, I'm building for linux, not win32 (assuming win32 means "windows 32 
bit platform").

Any ideas from here?
